Gary’s albums of the year venture away from our more standard metal selection with a bunch of stellar punk releases from bands like The Bar Stool Preachers, Grade 2, The Darts, The Dollyrots, Rumkicks and Rancid, but also sidesteps into other music like the special brand of rock that Public Image Ltd. brings, blues rock with Samantha Fish and Jesse Dayton, an acoustic Dropkick Murphys and a trip back into time, reminiscing about London’s legendary Batcave Club!
‘Okemah Rising’ is the second volume of Dropkick Murphys versions of Woody Guthrie lyrics set to their own music. Out via Dummy Luck.
The Punk Rock Bowling Music Festival 2023 in Las Vegas takes place in about a month and serves an impressive line-up with punk rock bands from the whole possible range you can think of! A place you must be at if you’re any bit into this kind of music…
Dropkick Murphys got the Munich crowd rocking two nights in a row at a sold out Zenith Kulturhalle, in the company of singer-songwriter Jesse Ahern, fellow Celtic punks The Rumjacks and punk royalty Pennywise.
Dropkick Murphys finally made it to the Hydro in Glasgow and proved to us yet again why they are one of the most popular bands in the Celtic punk genre!
‘This Machine Still Kills Fascists’ is a well crafted and original album from the Dropkick Murphys. Their music fits wonderfully with Woody Guthries lyrics (or is it the other way round?). The artwork on the cover is wonderful, incorporating the famous “fascists” guitar into it was genius.
The first batch of names for the Wacken Open Air 2023 edition was announced over the weekend and pre-sales start in an hour! Don’t miss out!
